I'm going to second the advice that someone above gave, and suggest that you find out your server's global chat channels. I set up 2 task forces and joined in a third last night simply by sending out a message that the TFs were forming, and that I needed additional support. The groups were filled in less than 10 minutes.
There are a lot of people out there looking to get in on large team action, but most dont seem to want to form their own groups, and not all are in the same level range. By being able to access a large pool of players, regardless of where in the world they are (and this includes crossing the red side/blue side divide), you can easily get groups up and running. -
Fantastic. This was exactly the information I was was hoping for.
Thanks. -
Hi folks,
just a quick one. I'm looking at slotting Touch of Lady Grey into my Rad defender's Radiation Infection (which is a targetted AoE toggle), and I was wondering if the damage proc would apply to everyone in the area of effect, or just the target themselves.
Thanks in advance -
The original reason for the additional slots was to allow players to stay on their servers, and the max number of slots was limited to 8. Since then, they have trippled the amount of slots available per server from 12 to 36. What more can you ask for?
or were you asking for free unlocks? Even if you got 4 free, they would be total, not per server like with CoV -
[QUOTE=pohsyb;2647831]Emails can be sent to local as well as global names now.
Emails with attachments can only be sent to a Global name.
Valid attachments are Enhancements, Salvage, Recipes and Inspirations if they are tradeable (buyable on AH). One per email. Inf can be sent alongside item.

Emphasis mine -
Quote:Actually, I'm fairly certain that the initial post by Poshyb said that you were limited to one item per attachment. Of course, its quite possible I misread that.Originally Posted by Sardan
First, they didn't say an attachment could only have one item in it. So presumably you could send a bunch of items in a single email, eliminating the "one by one" part of your objection.
Second, this mechanism isn't just to send stuff to your own alts. You can send things to other accounts too, so it's more flexible than a vault could be.
And yes, it does give you the ability to send to other people, which is nice. -
Quote:It sounds like we can transfer anything (inf, enhancements, recipes, or salvage) to anyone, on any server, as long as they are on the same side.Originally Posted by paytoplay_hero
Can we email currency between characters on different servers?
I'm really curious if this also applies to special salvage, like the halloween salvage for the 5th costume slot. I have 50 or so full sets on one server (after upgrading just about every character on that server), and I'd love to be able to send those out to the others on different servers -
Quote:Wouldnt it be easier to just implement an accound wide vault tab, so that any of your characters on the same side can access? That way, rather than having to actively send each item one by one to your own global name, you could just drop the items into the vault. Of course, that would mean updating the vault to allow recipes as well, and a field for adding in influence/infamy. Still, it would be a less cumbersome processOriginally Posted by pohsyb

11. Claim Awesomething.
I'm not going to go through all 30 characters. -
That cant be entirely correct, as we have temp powers that add a jetpack to the frame. The fact that the power manifests a physical object must mean they have some way of attaching them to the bodies. The obvious point would be where wings attach to the body, which does currently exist.

Hey, sweet! Now we just need goggles separate from horns and I'll be all set to buy that lifetime subscription

You know, the minute read the first reply, I knew I messed up and should have used Nova. I mean, I've done enough missions against them to know that they're called Nova and Dwarf (I'm a huge fan of the ITF, and they're in the first 2 missions). It was just a late night brain fart (I was posting at 1am my time). Or maybe I had seen the Light Form during character creation, and it stuck in my head.
Master-Blade, that makes perfect sense. I havent tried it, but the reasoning is sound.
And, I dont know why I never think to check paragonwiki before asking questions here. I mean, I use it all the time for day job badges, for task force info, for weapon and costume unlockables. But I never seem to think of it for others.
And its strange that in all these years, I'd never made a macro before. I use keybinds all the time, especially for powers that provide you with a targetting reticle like Lightning Rod, Shield Charge, teleportation, etc (I mean the first thing I did on the Warshade was make a bind for their teleport power) or for pet commands on my masterminds. -
That was incredibly detailed. Thank you.
Now, using the goto_tray will change your bottom most tray, I take it? While that's what I want, out of curiousity, is there a way to change any of the other trays (middle or top)?
Or is it based on the tray that the macro icon rests? -
Hey all,
I finally made it to my first 50 after more than 4 years in the game, and now have access to the elite classes. I made one of each, but have only had a chance to play the Peacebinger so far. Once I made it to lvl 6, I took Light Form (I think that's what it's called, the first of the shapes you can shift into).
Once that happened, I received some additional attacks that only work in that form, and all other abilities are greyed out. So, I was wondering if there was some way to make it so that when I pressed the Light Form power, to have my bottom tray be replaced by tray 4(actually 5 as I tend to put some of the generic powers like the Pocket D teleporter, Mission Teleported, Base teleporter, etc onto a seperate floating tray), which would contain all of my attack powers. I currently have a seperate floating tray for the powers, but I find it to be distracting, as I'm used to clicking on the 1st tray for all of my attack powers.
Now, I've found binds in some of the guides that do the above at the click of a key, but I was wondering if there was a way to do it while clicking on a power tray icon.
Thanks in advance. -
Quote:I found this to be the biggest problem playing a necromancer in Diablo II. When I came up against a hard boss, my pets would die too quickly, and I'd have a hard time trying to find more corpses to make new ones.Originally Posted by Rush_Bolt
Most of these ideas sound really cool and could be a lot of fun... except for this one.
The problem being is that corpses tend to fade out relatively quickly. Plus it would be that by the time your power effects come into play, you don't need them: they're already dead. Also, what happens when you come up against a single hard foe (GM/EB/AV/Some Bosses)? With no corpses to fuel yourself, you're at a disadvantage.
I do like your notions on -Range though. That should be more prevalent, I think. -
Its ironic you should say no fire corrupters, because the first thing that came to mind was a fire/dark corrupter. That being said, you might do well with a dominator that has a -knockback component in their immobilize/hold powers (stone's good for this, or grav). That will help keep mobs grouped for the AoE that bots puts out.
Another option is a brute, any brute will do. -
Quote:Actually, I think that animation is one of my favourites in the game. I cant wait to take it on any primary/secondary that has it. Regardless of the time it takes to cast, it just feels mighty.Originally Posted by Godpants
Least Fun:
Thunder Strike/Total Focus/Tremor/any "slam dunk" animation - Congratulations, you are now the world's slowest luchador attempting a double axe handle blow from the top turnbuckle.
In addition to Shield Charge/Lightning Rod, I also want to add any knock up weapon attack. I play CoX with my girlfriend a lot, and she never gets tired of me saying how I hit a guy SO hard, he flew up in the air.
I also love that one villain patron power where you fire these little glowing missiles at someone, and they lift them up in the air, circling their body. That looks great. I just have to figure out what AT can actually take it, so that I can start working towards it.
As for least fun powers, any attack from a teammate that sends my target flying away from me. Man, do I ever hate having to chase down something I was just beating up on. -
Except when you're talking about cones... Range enhancements in a cone attack will extend the range that the cone will reach, and thereby expand the area that is covered by the attack.
-
I figured they would be, but I held out hope... Oh well, I guess I'll be making a couple of new guys when I get home from work.
Thanks for the help, guys. -
Well, I guess it at least gives me a place to slot that 5th Posi set...
And, with Tar Patch/Tenticles down from the Dark/AR defender that he's Pacted with, it should make it quite a bit more effective. -
Hi there,
just a quick question about transfering characters from one server to another. Now, I've done this many times, but I've never tried to move a Levelling Pacted pair before. I want to move both over to a new server, and keep the pact intact. Does anyone know if this is possible? They're over lvl 5, so they wouldnt be able to just set the pact back up again. If not, I might just have to recreate them on the new server, and do a sewer run or two to at least get them into the early teens. -
Okay, so I have Buckshot, FT, and Ignite 5 slotted without the proc, and FA/LRM 5 slotted without the Dam/Range. Kind of the best of both worlds
What's the deal with Ignite, anyway? Is it similar to the Fire Armour's Burn patch? Does it cause mob scattering the same way? Is it worth taking, damage wise, or will it just be overkill anyway? -
If you chose HTML Export, rather than Official Forums (they switched the forums over to a new style last year), it'll show up properly
-
Right, the toxic is indeed redundant so I've moved 2 of the slots over to Surveilance to take some Shield Breakers, and replaced the Dam/End for FA, FT And LRM with recharge.
I understand your statement about Burst, but the only power I could think to drop would be Stun at the end, and it would only get a single slot, as all others are really tied up. I dont mind being forced into melee, as I'll always be paired up with a Dark/AR defender, so the -acc and slows should work in my favour.
Here's the new build:

Hey all,
I have a new guy that I'm working on at the moment. I've been enjoying the trip to the high teens so far, it just feels powerful.
I've got him in a pact with a Dark/AR defender that I have on follow on my second box, and the two of them together have been quite a good team.
That being said, here's the build I put together in Mids:

I originally thought about taking the fighting pool, and originally built it that way, but the numbers didnt seem that great, and it didnt leave room for an anticiliary pool.
I'm sure it seems a bit disjointed, and it probably is. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -
Quote:I want to point out the last option posted above... I'm in the midst of levelling an AR/Energy blaster, and he really is top notch. If they manage to get in close, they're in for a rude awakening... I play him as a blapper, much like my Elec/Elec. I cant wait until I get high enough for Boost Range, and then unload with a Full Auto shot. Extended range on cones rock.Originally Posted by Airhammer
Well basically you are asking for a FoTM blaster and because the months change all the time the FoTM changes all the time.
I dont think you should look for an FoTM build. Find something thats fun that you enjoy playing. That will allow to level quickly because you will play it more. There are many blaster combos that will suffice and I dont think any one is better than the other.
Blasters I have at 50
Nrg/Nrg
Fire/Mental
Arch/Devices
Elec/Elec
Rad/Mental
AR/Nrg
All fun.. all can solo and team..
I put together a build in Mids, to get some feedback, but this probably isnt the best place to post it. I'll make a new post about it.
